There's a side by side comparison site - Google and Bing in two frames. Just type in something inflammatory like "OS X beats Windows 7" without the quotes and see what comes up. Google's first is "Mac OS X 10.6 Beats Windows 7 in Amazon Pre-Orders". Bing's first is "Windows 7 Better than Mac OS X Leopard in Security, Says Microsoft COO".
Depends on how much you're backing up. If it's a few files, use some DVD-Rs. If it's a desktop, just get another hard drive and don't drop it. If it's lots and lots of stuff, the first 100TB would be cheapest on LTO4 data tape. Yeah, the drives are a few thousand but the 1.6TB tapes are only about $50 and will more than make up for the drive cost in capacity and speed after 100TB. The second 100TB would be even cheaper.
I'll clarify - tech to me involves stuff that makes your hands dirty - facility installation, network configuration (switches/VLANs, Firewalls etc), power systems (installed a diesel generator last year), hands-on workflow, backup and archive/restore to/from LTO data tape, delivering compressed media from edit suites to clients with customized servers. I deal with a lot of physical assets flowing in/out of a data network.
What happened is the nuances of the systems started falling through the cracks. I had a 10,000 foot overview and good understanding of it all but couldn't stand in for a line engineer like I used to be. That was death when budgets tightened.
Now where'd you put the only asset you have, i.e. experience?
Interesting, that. I got laid off a few months ago because I got kicked from pure tech up to management in a growing company. After a while, I was managing a lot but my tech edge was relatively dull and expensive. I was expendable.
Now, I'm getting back into tech on my own. That's the place to be. I'm hooked up with two independent tech groups tired of the cheap/eager people with no experience. Both groups said they don't want "kids" making big decisions without the likes of me (56 yo) with my experience holding the ship's wheel.
Manage if you must but keep your hands deep in your trade.
I should only ever need my SSAN for two reasons - to pay into my Social Security account and when I need to withdraw that money. The fact that it's legal for private organizations to use your SSAN willy nilly is mind blowing.
Cell phone purchases I understand. The NSA needs to tie your SSAN to your EAN.
Gates has been gone for a while now (and scarily enough - being incredibly philanthropic.)
Most Robber Baron industrialists turn to philanthropy later in life. Many have a rags to riches story and worked very hard but there's typically a prominent ruthless element to them. See Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Rockefeller, Armour, Duke and now Gates.
Now, when I preview a song, I'll get some Akamai servers showing up but I still see plenty of Host:a1457.phobos.apple.com stuff. It's not correct to say across the board that it's just Apple or just Akamai servers, for sure, but the entry point for most connections I see are HTTP/1.1 200 OK. Server: Apache/2.2.6 (Unix) and http://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/triSplash?vi ewName=21blah blah blah.
o one really uses OSX Server for anything really mission critical that relies on it for the kind of storage capabilities ZFS would provide. Do they?
Just the iTunes store. Millions of people beat on it every day. However, the insane demands of simultaneously activating a gazillion new iPhones has brought the iTunes servers down with essentially a DDoS attack.

That's not what I asked for.
Ballmer? Is that you?
I was thinking the Ubuntu LiveCD
Ubuntu
So the security fix is to run the palm of your hand around the keyboard a few times before you leave. At least 1k worth.

You're working from memory. Firmware CC1H is fine. These have been running great for many many months.
8x Seagate 7200.11 1.5TB Drives @ $119/ea from Microcenter
1x Highpoint RocketRAID 2322 w/ cables @ $329.97
1x 8 Drive SATA enclosure @ $225.00
Plug into a Mac Pro = 600MB/sec RAID 5
Sweet.

"They should be the only ones who have access to that information"
Only if they're going to do what they said with that information - make it faster to clear airport security. If they don't, I want my identity back.

Uhh, no. Everyone will _design_ their own. Almost noone will _build_ one.
Oh... you're right. It'll need to fork three times before the first beta is available.
Hey NASA - open a project on SourceForge and it'll be done in two weeks. The bad news is everyone will build their own.
Clearly, it ties your SSAN to your EAN for the NSA.
I could have answered that question for half of what they paid.
Oh, that's nothing. Think how much money this "Fair Use" nonsense has cost the industry.
The iTunes store uses Akamai. So it uses Linux, not OSX at all.
Really. So, why is it when I select a genre on iTunes, my traffic analyzer has pages of this?

Now, you kids take back that troll mod.

Oh, so then the U.S. Gov't can charge a high import duty on Microsoft products. Loophole THAT, Monkey Boy!
What happens when The Big One hits? Time for a stress test on hospitals now.
"You agree not to install, use, or run the Apple software on any non-Apple-labeled computer, or to enable others to do so."
...which is what the Apple stickers in the OS X box are for.
Apple is 20 years late to this party. If they jump into this rabbit hole, it'll be interesting to see how they get out.
They probably have a plan. Keep in mind everyone who scoffed at all their new products for the last decade.
...lousy UI for a touch device, no camera, lousy tech support, no SMS, no iTunes, no decent MP3 player.
Should have finished that off with "Lame" to be complete.
